Bra Straps!

Racer back bras are the answer to this problem-no slipping straps and more comfortable to wear.

Yes!!!!!! So glad it's not just me!!!! I spend all my time hitching straps back up. I have the band of my bra so tight I can't breathe and the straps really tight but nothing makes any difference.

I am now so old that I have grooves in my shoulders that my bra straps have made over time. Consequence, no slipping bra straps

Me too oldmeg think I have them quite tight though

That made me chuckle JackyB I have hoisted my straps so often. Reminds me of the sketches Les Dawson used to do with Roy Barraclough, so funny.

Oddly enough this is one problem I don’t have!

Oh I know exactly what you mean! The M&S one with non-slip straps used to be great but the last ones I bought didn't work so well. I came to the conclusion that my whole body is now slopping downwards!

I find this, too. Many jobs we do require dipping the shoulders - bending down to pick things up or reaching across the table to wipe it or put something down/pick something up.

The straps can be tightened, but if you tighten them too tight, your boobs fall out the bottom!

The silicone non-slip pad sounds a good idea, but doesn't it stick or pinch the skin?

Do you remember those tiny golden safety pins which old ladies used to keep all straps together (in those days, you would have a bra strap, a vest strap and a slip strap all getting tangled underneath your outer clothes!)

Once you have adjusted your bra to the optimum position (I must do this before I get dressed this morning!), I suppose the best way to keep it like that is to (a) never wear it again or (b) if (a) can't be avoided, never wash it again and (c) keep tightening it.

Till your boobs fall out the bottom.

Doesn't it mean that the strap needs shortening or the elastic has 'gone'?

John Lewis sell a small safety pin with a popper on a home end (difficult to describe) which you can pin at the shoulder which holds the straps in place. I've used it on strappy dresses and it works well.

Not sure what cause mine to always slide off the right shoulder, M&S do a bra with a silicone strip inside the strap and it works, or a crossover back sport bra works too. I agree it's most annoying.
